Organic Raspberry

Raspberries are small, red, aggregate fruits that grow on perennial shrubs. They are native to Europe and northern Asia but are now cultivated worldwide. The fruit is typically harvested by hand and can be sold fresh, frozen, or processed into various food products.

Raspberries are primarily used to add natural fruit flavor and color to foods. They are commonly found in jams, jellies, fruit spreads, baked goods, desserts, and beverages. Their sweet and slightly tart taste makes them a popular choice for enhancing the flavor profile of many food items.

Raspberries are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. While generally considered healthy, no specific health claims are made by regulatory bodies regarding their consumption in typical food amounts. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated raspberries and their components, generally recognizing their safety.
